RE: Being a Soldier - An Inside Look
If you don't like what I do, then whatever man. I made this so people would know a little more about me and have an insight into what it's like to be a soldier. That's me and if you don't like it tough shit brother. Doesn't hurt my feelings one bit. You've got the right to your opinion.
Did I say I agree with everything the US or the military does? Nah, I can't find that anywhere in my post actually. I have the right to my opinion as an individual, too. What would you like to see happen to the military? It just not exist? The entire world be one big, happy playground? If the US didn't have a military poverty wouldn't exist? Alright, sounds good to me. If I didn't have this job, I would be one of those in poverty.

You exist as a tool to uphold capitalism the system that creates this poverty. Without you the system would change to mutualism or socialism, which has proven to essentially erase poverty. Without destroying every military state socialism is an example of the erasure of poverty, look at the ussr.
To each their own.
to each based on how much control they have over the means of production and the workers*
There, made a special capitalist version for you.
To each their own describes mutualism
"Alright, sounds good to me. If I didn't have this job, I would be one of those in poverty."
"If I didn't take food from that starving child, I would be starving myself" The soldier says in front of the store with food rotting on its shelves for the extra bit of profit and then thinks. "Good thing I fought for freedom, otherwise that child could have stolen food from the store"
What are you even talking about?
20 million die a year of poverty while there is enough to feed them. The only thing keeping them from food is the money to buy it. Money is a social construct, and it must be enforced to exist. You are the one who enforces it. You are the one who keeps the starving child from food because of legal fictions.
